This blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific attempts to eliminate trans people from society. Trans people have always existed, in every society, but the administration has embraced a moral panic, declared a war against reality, and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist. This includes making their healthcare illegal, censoring books and school curriculum from university level down to elementary school, declaring trans life to be child abuse, and banning trans people from bathrooms.

This blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are being terrorized by a fascist president who has declared them to be threats that must be eliminated.

The USA is disappearing random brown people off the streets via unidentified masked men and shipping them off to concentration camps and notorious foreign prisons, all with no due process. Solidarity for all who are in the gaze of this American Nazism terror campaign against its own people.

Great video from pindude152 showcasing an extremely obscure Japanese game ライダーセブン (Rider Seven), which is a conversion of a Rotamint machine. This is one of many conversions that existed in the early 1970s, mostly for black market gambling. Check my tag of Germany-related Japanese machines to see a few others.


 

Pinbruh posted a great gameplay video of Lady Robinhood (a game that is now on my dream want list) and I loved the sounds and asked if he could record a gameplay-only version.  and he did!  the sounds are pretty fabulous.

The Hat Trick is one of the more interesting allwins since it allows the operator to swap the coloured cups to determine what the playfield will be like, and tightly control the possible odds.

 

Great little video on a huge penny scales collection

I really like this auction preview, where he walks through everything for sale and gives them a try. Gameplay footage of a number of great obscure machines in here.

のど自慢テストスタヂオ (Nodo Jiman Test Studio) pachinko

I was able to purchase a very rare pachinko board from 1948.  It did not come with a stand.

1948 のど自慢テストスタヂオ (Nodo Jiman Test Studio) by 山田製作所 (Yamada seisakusho)

 

It started out quite filthy. The image does not quite do the dirt justice, but there where layers of grime. 


Using small careful strokes and a mild solvent I was able to get much of the surface grime off, with minimal wear to the background.

after the first pass of cleaning.

We are lucky to find an advertisement for this exact machine!  This was published in November 1948.

Taken from the latest book by Kazuo Sugiyama:

パチンコ四部作完結編 コリントゲーム史 (Pachinko tetralogy final edition: CORINTHIAN game history) by Kazuo Sugiyama


NHKのど自慢 (NHK Nodo Jiman) is a singing competition that began broadcasting in 1946.  It was broadcast on NHK Radio which has the call sign JOAK, the letters we can see across the background:

it is easier to note the JOAK when using a flash

The first national Nodo Jiman contest took place in March 1948, and was won by 笠置シヅ子 (Shizuko Kasagi), lovingly known as the Queen of Boogie Woogie.

NHK Nodo Jiman is still being made today!  And in 2023 NHK released a television series called ブギウギ (Boogie Woogie) based on the life of Shizuko Kasagi,

 

「焼け跡のラジオ」展  ("Radio in the Ruins" Exhibition) at 日本ラジオ博物館  (Japan Radio Museum) gives an excellent overview of the radios in Japan in the late 1940s.

NHK also has a Museum of Broadcasting which can provide some essential context.


I am told the metal pocket graphics would have been lithographed on a poor quality zinc plate, but most of it is now worn off.  It is very hard to see, but there are still faded lines from the illustrations:

This appears to be an illustration of Shizuko Kasagi, based on a photograph of her at the contest.  I assume that this picture was printed in any newspapers at the time.

I got in touch with Jean, who previously vectorized the artwork for Japanese Ball Game for my Tamakorogashi article (check in the Toys section), and she worked to digitally trace the lines that were there.

I am very grateful for their efforts in helping to digitally restore the old image.  It involved taking a number of photos from different angles and different lighting conditions to try and find all of the line remnants.  The NHK letters were even hard to notice until you cross your eyes a bit, but there they are. :)

 

The 1948 original illustration had the NHK logo on a slant, which is curious because the NHK logo was officially firmly upright until 1962.

The above image traces just what can be seen on the plate.  Here is an early pass, including more embellishment of what might have been there:

This playfield pocket cover has two bells:

is that an accordion above the bells?

this one appears to have 3 bells at the bottom, a piano in the center, and a music staff with notes along the top background.


 

Two NHKのど自慢 photos from 1948... (thank you @michelentongs)
These come from Radio Yearbook Shôwa 23 Edition from NHK Publishing.

1948-02-29 Sendai (JOHK is the NHK network sign for Sendai NHK)
I am told this competition was for the Sendai district

1948-03-22 Tôkyô Kyôritsu auditorium
のど自慢全国コンクール (Nodo Jiman Nationwide Competition)

 

 

 

Nido Jiman was all about ringing the bells!  The better you did, the more bells they rang.  Novel at the time, this machine had an extra bell at the back so every shot rang the single bell on the left.



Winning balls would collide with the lower bell on their way to the payout tray.  Having a bell here appears to be normal for 1948.

full shot of the back of the machine


The payout mechanism is intact and moves fine.  I think this machine could easily be made functional again.

full shot of the front of the machine, as it sits now.


If you try and focus on the nails, you'll notice that the nails themselves also form a bell!

It might be slightly easier to see from an angle:

the nails form an image of a bell

 Other hardware, all cleaned up

 

Check out an original 78 RPM pressing: 
東京ブギウギ - 笠置シヅ子(1948)
Tokyo Boogie Woogie - Shizuko Kasagi (1948)


 

And then a modern video, I believe released for the NHK TV show:


 

I am not a scholar of Japanese culture, but I wonder if this machine still has some cultural significance?  If there is a place for it, I would like to donate it to a museum or cultural center.  It is not in very good condition though, so I doubt it would be of much interest.  It is interesting for the image that is uncovered and the story that it allows us tell about the rise of popular culture in post-war Japan.  If you have questions or know of a good home for it, please comment below or send me an email.

how things get scanned here

This blog has gone heavy into scanning and preservation.  I do a bunch of flatbed scanning myself, but the bulk of the magazines you see posted here are scanned by the likes of Detchibe and Hubz, and we coordinate at Gaming Alexandria.  These are ongoing collaborative projects where we all chip in money, time, and sweat equity, all at various levels, with the goal of preserving gaming history for future researchers and historians.

But this post is about highlighting that "sweat equity".  Maybe blood equity? (Scanners cut themselves so many times...)  They also endure magazines that smell like old cigarettes and blood, magazines that are falling apart, magazines that have pages stuck together, etc.

2 timelapse videos from Detchibe....  like debinding Coin Journals:


 Or chopping the spines off Amusement Journal issues:


A longer video from Detchibe, they take us through How to Debind, Scan, Process, and Upload Japanese Magazines


 

Hubz cautions that this is an older video and some of his methods have improved, but it is a great overview from him:


 

There are also others who send me in their scans.  Thank you very much for those.  Have something to preserve and share with the game research community?  Many of my sources have requested anonymity, or I can post with full credit.  Please get in touch at thetastates@gmail.com

On the YouTube video front, here is a great compilation of the Learn To Flip videos by Erin Winwick Anthony that takes us through her journey of learning competitive pinball. This is a highly recommended video to send anyone who is at all interested in playing in pinball competitions!


 

Famous retro arcade in Japan 台場一丁目商店街プレイランド (Daiba 1-chome Shopping Arcade Playland) closed down. Onitama-san gifts us one last look at this marvelous arcade.  This was one of the very few public places you could have played Sega's Moto Polo.


Here Onitama-san takes us through Takahashi's wonderful pinball collection in Japan, featuring a great woodrail line up and many other electromechanical games. Interesting to note that it's all American machines here, and I don't see a single Japanese machine.


 

Clay is back with videos of four machines that I am quite fond of.
1947 Heavy Hitter by Bally (countertop pitch-n-bat)
1956 Lucky Seven by Genco (roll down)
1955 Derby Roll by United (roll down)
1972 Golf Champ by Midway (wall game)

 




 

I know there are a number of impressively ridiculous collectors out there. People who have built massive collections that might seem unwieldy to people outside the hobby.
Within that group there is a subset of collections that might not be appreciated fully unless you too are deeply nerdy about electromechanical arcade machines.  But when you are in with that sickness, the depth and refinement of such collections make you a bit weak at the knees!
Within that group, there are a bunch who have also put in a ridiculous amount of time and effort to share their skills and knowledge and passion with the public. Clay is one of those people. Steve Young, Rob Berk, Tim Arnold, Larry Bieza. Many more. And Kevin Keinert is in that group too.  (I would also put like Mike Hasanov and Jay Stafford in that group of people who have gone above and beyond in their efforts to share information and build the hobby, but I don't actually know what their collections are like...  perhaps beginning with framing this as people with impressive collections doesn't quite get to the point I was going for?...  nevertheless!)

Here Kevin takes us inside 1920s shocker games:


 

These two videos are currently 15 & 13 years old, but I only recently was alerted to their presence. To extremely rare/obscure machines.
